BREEAM

BREEAM (Building Research Establishment’s Environmental Assessment Method) is considered to be the world’s leading and most widely used environmental assessment method for buildings, with over115,000 buildings certified and nearly 700,000 registered.

A BREEAM assessment uses measures of performance. These measures of performance are set against well-established benchmarks, to evaluate environmental specification, design, and construction and use.

The measures used cover a broad range of criteria (management, health and wellbeing, energy, transport, water, materials, waste, land use and ecology, and pollution).
